Good Afternoon my friends!
Whew! What a busy day yet it doesn't look like I've gotten anything accomplished!
Ever have a day like that??
Anyways, while I was instant messaging with a Michigan friend, she told me about this really cool challenge called Do More With Less and this months is "Shaped Cards with Lisa". My friend (yes I'm talking about you Diane!!) thought this was right up my alley and that I would like to play along ... (I'm getting more & more adventurous these days! LOL!) So, here we go . . .
Oh, by the way, Lisa is Lisa Fish of A Mermaid's Crafts. She is extremely talented! In need of inspiration? Pop on over to her blog ... some really cool stuff!!!
The actual challenge is: shaped cards using a die cut as the base.

I am extremely happy with the end result and think this style will be a nice addition to my cards for my upcoming craft shows. It's not like I don't have a variety of dies to work with! LOL!!
Well, the neighbors have invited us to go to the Akron Aero's ball game tonight and my play time is running out! Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you'll give this a whirl. Isn't it awesome how we can be inspired and learn from each other!
